USDA announced that it will continue to allow schools to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students throughout the 2021-2022 school year.

Even though meals are free this school year, free/reduced meal applications are still necessary. Your student's qualification helps schools qualify for federal funding for student programs and services such as:

reduced registration fees for testing

discounts for participation fees in sports

discounted rates on application fees for college

discounts on internet service rates

Please click on the Free & Reduced Application tab to complete your application.

The Food Service Department here at Liberty is committed to providing appetizing meals while adhering to the American Dietary Guidelines that are specified by the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. Menus are planned to ensure that when averaged over a week, meals comply with the American Dietary Guidelines for total fat, saturated fat and calories.

All district cafeterias operate under an Offer versus Serve method. This simply means that students are offered full meals in accordance with USDA requirements, but have the option of refusing part of the meal. This allows the child to take only the food items that they will eat and refuse the food items that they would discard. The student is required to take at least 3 full portions of 5 different food items (one of which must be a fruit or vegetable) at lunch and 3 of 4 at breakfast. Students are allowed only one portion of the main entree; however, they may request larger portion sizes of vegetables, fruits, and starches. You are invited to purchase a meal and eat breakfast or lunch with your child. Please be advised that it is against USDA regulations that an adult eat from a student tray. An adult must purchase their own meal. Please check-in at the school office to obtain a Visitor Pass before eating with your student.
